Dear Swedish media, please be careful w/ your word: Sweden,EU,USA,UK &most of democracies don't recognize Lukashenka as "president". @AnnLinde usually avoids any title while @JosepBorrellF uses title "dictator". @Europarl_EN says regime is "illegitimate, illegal and criminal".
Today❗️20 people were recognized as political prisoners in #Belarus @viasna96 Lukashenko continues his campaign of mass terror—a never-ending carousel of repression & fear. Belarusians have been fighting for freedom for over 5 years—this is why the dictator takes revenge on them

The Lukashenko regime is launching mass political trials over 'Neighborhood chats.' Last fall, people across the country were detained simply for being part of local chat groups. This is how Lukashenko is 'normalizing' relations with the 🇺🇸 & 🇪🇺—by continuing political purges
We're proud to be one of them. We are in a greate company of the @NobelPrize winners, great journalists and human rights heros. Łukašenka regime is illegitimate, illegal and criminal and all it's decisions are legally null and void.
🤯 In Belarus, 300 entities now carry the label of "extremist formations." This includes media outlets such as @DeutscheWelle, #humanrights groups like @viasna96, trade unions, youth and environmental projects, solidarity networks supporting #politicalprisoners, a theatre…
#Belarus has begun prosecuting individuals linked to so-called “neighborhood chat groups.” Human rights defenders report that several trials have already started, with more scheduled to follow. The cases involve people detained earlier in #2024 for their activity in private group…
A former political prisoner tells how Maria Kalesnikava—sick, malnourished and subjected to inhumane treatment—still found a way to say: “We will win.” Even behind bars, she lifts others up. The regime couldn’t break her spirit. We will never stop fighting for her freedom.
Belarusians of Warsaw 🤍❤️🤍 held a solidarity action this weekend in support of the imprisoned @viasna96 team. Human rights defenders Marfa Rabkova, Valiantsin Stefanovich, Uladzimir Labkovich, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Ales Bialiatski remain behind bars for their work.
For 31 years, Lukashenka has clung to power, destroying our parliament, jailing opponents, and silencing those who dare to resist. He froze Belarus in time. But through it all, we never gave up. We still fight for our freedom, for justice, for a European future.

The Free Belarus Museum, a project of @nau_belarus, marks its 3rd anniversary "Every Belarusian who fights for freedom for our country has the right to consider this museum their own," said @PavelLatushka Heartfelt thanks to @warszawa @NLinPoland & all who support the museum.
Interview today on Danish broadcast @DRBreaking today with @Tsihanouskaya and @tsikhanouski_s about the time in prison, the release and their joint and continued fight dr.dk/nyheder/udland…
In 2020, the world witnessed our peaceful uprising in Belarus — unarmed people standing up to a dictator. The streets may be quiet now, but our resistance never ended. Belarusians have not stopped fighting for freedom. And we will not stop until our country is finally free.
Don’t be fooled — the violence of the Belarus regime never stopped. Repressions, torture, and arrests continue every day. According to human rights defenders, several hundred people have been charged with criminal offenses in recent weeks for participating in the 2020 protests.
Idag är det 11 år sedan MH17 sköts ned över Ukraina. 298 människor, varav 80 barn, miste livet. Europadomstolen och FN:s luftfartsorgan har fastställt Rysslands ansvar – ett viktigt steg mot upprättelse för offren och deras anhöriga.

Mass 'preventive' arrests took place in Brest on July 3 eve—Lukashenko's Independence Day @viasna96 Since 2020, Lukashenko developed a pathological fear of Belarusians. 5 years of mass repression reflect this irrational fear Repression won't stop while the dictator stays in power
Word!
The ‘scheme’, when the US sells weapons to Ukraine and Europe pays for them, would look just perfect, if for this purpose are used frozen Russian funds. It would be not only rational, symbolic, but also damn right.
#Belarus: UN experts call for investigations into deaths in custody of individuals who were deprived of their liberty for expressing political dissent. ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
Five years ago today, we held a press conference in Minsk to declare our unity against the regime. It was a turning point for Belarus. We won the election, but the dictator stole our victory. Belarusians will not be denied their rights. Our fight for freedom lives on.
💔 Marfa Rabkova has been unjustly imprisoned in Belarus for 4 years & 10 months. This courageous young woman coordinated @viasna96’s volunteer service, organised people to monitor elections, and documented torture. For this, she received nearly 15 years in prison. While behind…
It was a moment of unbelievable hope – three women uniting political forces to challenge the dictator in Belarus 5 years ago 🤍❤️🤍 We still carry that energy today, fighting for a bright future for our country, for the freedom of Maryia Kalasnikava and all political prisoners.
